초록

기술표준은 국가 경제에 중요한 요소로서 융복합 산업의 출현으로 인해 그 중요성이 더욱 주목받고 있는데, 이것은 상호운용성을 확보해주므로 융복합 기술을 구현하기 위해서는 필수적인 요소이다. 표준화 활동은 국내 중소기업의 성장을 위하여 반드시 필요한 요소이기 때문에 본 연구에서는 중소기업의 표준화 활동의 현황을 진단하고, 그에 따른 정책적 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 그리고 국내 중소기업의 표준화 활동 현황을 확인하고, 성공적으로 추진중인 해외 표준화 주요 진흥정책을 확인함으로써 국내 진흥방안의 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 표준활동을 위한 투자비용이 부담되고 전문인력이 필요하며 표준기술의 복잡성으로 인해 중소기업의 참여도가 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 표준화 활동은 기술보호에 취약하다는 약점이 있어 중소기업들은 기술공개를 기피하는 성향을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 기업의 표준화 어려움을 해결하기 위해서는 지원조직의 협력체제 구축이 필요하며, 표준화 활동을 장려하기 위해서는 기술 보호에 필요한 법적근거의 마련이 요구된다.

The technical standard is an important factor in the national economy, and its importance is gaining more attention due to the emergence of the convergence industry. This is an essential element for implementing fusion technology because it ensures interoperability. Since standardization activities are essential for the growth of domestic SMEs, this study aims to diagnose the status of standardization activities of SMEs and to suggest policy directions accordingly. And we sought to clarify the status of the standardization activities of domestic SMEs and to draw some implications for the domestic promotion plan by examining the major promotion policies for overseas standardization successfully. As a result, it was found that the investment cost for the standard activities is burdensome, the professional manpower is needed, and the participation of SMEs is low due to the complexity of the standard technology. In addition, standardization activities have weaknesses in terms of technology protection, and SMEs tend to avoid technology disclosure. Therefore, in order to solve the difficulties of standardization of companies, it is necessary to establish cooperation system of supporting organizations. In order to promote standardization activities, it is necessary to establish legal basis necessary for technology protection.
